Method and System to Retrieve Information

1. A method comprising: sensing data in a memory in response to a first burst read request; transferring out of the memory less than all of the data; and interrupting the transfer of sensed data in response to receipt of a second burst read request.

2. The method of claim 1 including sensing data in response to the second burst read request after interrupting the transfer of sensed data in response to the first burst read request.

3. The method of claim 1 including simultaneously sensing and transferring data for said second burst read request.

4. An article comprising a computer medium storing instructions that, if executed, enable a processor-based system to: sense data in a memory in response to a first burst read request; transfer out of the memory less than all of the data; and interrupt the transfer of sensed data in response to receipt of a second burst read request.

5. The article of claim 4 further storing instructions that, if executed, enable the processor-based system to sense data in response to the second burst read request after interrupting the transfer of sensed data in response to the first burst read request.

6. The article of claim 4 further storing instructions that, if executed, enable the processor-based system to simultaneously sense and transfer data for said second burst read request.

7. A system comprising: a controller; and a memory coupled to said controller storing instructions to cause said controller to sense data in response to a first burst read request, transfer out of the memory less than all of the data, and interrupt the transfer of sensed data in response to receipt of a second burst read request.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein said memory includes a memory array storing the sensed data.

9. The system of claim 7 wherein said memory stores instructions to enable the controller to sense data in response to the second burst read request after interrupting the transfer of sensed data in response to the first burst read request.

10. The system of claim 7 wherein said memory further stores instructions that enable the processor-based system to simultaneously sense and transfer data out of said memory for said second burst read request.
